Mikey surrounded by girls!

This picture is of the three girls I watch. I love this pictures because all of the girls hair is sticking straight up from the static in the blow up car. They normally don't all play together like this so when I saw that all FOUR were in the car I had to take a picture. Mikey is already getting into trouble with girls!

Uncle Steve & Uncle Dave

Even though it was a short trip it was nice seeing them both. The picture you see of Uncle Dave is pretty much what he spent ALLOT of his time doing. He helped Mike get his bug running and Mike is way stoked! Thanks Uncle Dave! Mikey adored Uncle Steve, you could tell because he just kept looking at him the whole time Steve was here. Uncle Steve was also working along side Uncle Dave getting his car ready to go back to California. I felt bad for both of them because I think all they did the whole time they were here is work on cars and shovel snow. They went to Mikes work with him to fix Dads snow blower and they got both cars stuck. The snow plow at Mikes work had to get them unstuck. Finally when they got the cars pulled out of the way the snow plow got stuck. Oh, and poor Uncle Dave had such a hard time with this cold weather. I'm sure he is glad to be home in warm California now. We miss you guys!






Carter 2 months

Our little baby is getting to be so big! He is 11 pounds 12 oz now and he is in the 50% for everything. He smiles all the time. He likes to coo and talk to us now too! He loves to talk with his eyes and eyebrows. We are going to have so much fun with this little guy!

Jack frost nipping at your nose




Most of the snow from these pictures is from 24 hours of snowfall. The first pic is taken from my front door of Mike before he leaves for work, poor guy has to be out in this yuck! The last pic is taken off my back patio. Out of the 10 years that I have lived in Idaho this is the most snow I have seen fall overnight. I am loving the snow. Its gets a little old after January though. I used to hate the snow anytime of the year but I am learning to love it. I don't even mind driving in it. Its kinda fun except you have to watch out for crazy drivers (sorry Ryan & Carrie) Another thing I can do without is the cold. For about 5 days straight it has been in the teens during the day and down to zero at night.... brrrrrrr! Plus it was really windy on top of it all! Poor Mikey's cheeks are wind burn along with a runny nose!

Picasa Rocks!

I have this program called Picasa and I love it! I have recently started playing around with it more and more. You can retouch your pictures. See if you can guess how the before and after pics are different (other than the coloring and the image appearing sharper) NO CHEATING! After Before



Give up? He has drool coming out of his mouth on the left side. This program is soo great I have covered up stains on shirts and scratches and blemishes on faces. I have even made double chins look better! So... If you don't have a program that can do this and you have a killer pic all except that one little thing. E-mail it to me or whatever and I would be happy to fix it for you! Oh, although this program rocks my socks it can't take away inches away from hips or thighs, I already tried!

Say cheese, don't get a flat head please!

Little Carter is starting to smile! I can't wait to see his little personality start coming out. He can support his head better too. I'm totally paranoid about Carter getting a flat head because he doesn't get to be held all that much. I have to chase Mikey around allot. Mikey is totally on whole milk now in a sippy cup, it was a really easy transition until Carter came along and now Mikey sees me feed him a bottle and he gets cranky. So allot of the times I end up holding both of them in my lap. Poor Mikey, I usually will be holding Carter when Mikey wants to be held so I just lift him up by one arm allot. I know I'm not suppose to do that in case his arm comes out of its socket but that is all I can do. Anyone that wants to come over and give Mikey lots of attention or hold Carter would be awesome!



Some peoples kids!

I come home from the grocery store and go to the bathroom for maybe a minute. I come back into the kitchen and find you know who in the cupboard. He also managed to take his shoes and socks off during this time frame. Stinkin kid! But you can't help but love him.

Just for fun

Wanted to post this pic of Carter since he is growing and changing everyday.






These pics were of Mikey walking. He is walking more and more everyday and he is finally able to walk with shoes on. It is hard to keep shoes and socks on this kid because he is always pulling them off. The last pic is of Mikey laughing. He has recently started to laugh a little different he has these cute deep belly laughs now and it is impossible not to laugh with him when he starts. By the way... can you see Mike in Mikey at all besides the dimples? He is the boy model of me!



Kidproofing Christmas

I came home from I can't remember where at the moment and Mike had the X-mas lights all decorated and looking good! We got the snow globe from grandma Shirley, its sweet because there is a carousel inside of it but it moves the wrong way but the fact that it does this kinda fits our family.

We have to do this so Mikey doesn't tare apart the tree. We are always telling that kid

"NO Mikey NO"


This is what the tree looks like when company comes over but for the most part its to hidden by the ottoman and the playpen. GOTTA LOVE KIDS!
